Is this a fork or something intended to be upstreamed?

• jpgvm 5y ago
  It's both. There is a PG fork which contains some patches to increase extensibility to certain APIs and then an extension developed against that fork. The idea would be to upstream the fork I would imagine but continue development of the engine out of tree similar to Citus, Timescale, etc.

    Yes, that's it. 1. The first goal is to become a pure extension. That should be done in 2-3 PostgreSQL release cycles. 2. The long term goal is to become a part of PostgreSQL.

      When you say 2-3 release cycles, do you mean like targeting 14.5(probably 2022), or more like targeting 17.x(probably 2025)?
      • akorotkov 5y ago
        I mean major releases. So, targeting 17.0.
